(Cl.292-169) The present invention has reference to an improved inserted orinset door lock incorporating a latch mechanism displaceably andnon-rotatably guided in a lengthwise cylindrical housing and possessingat least one spindle which extends centrally through a likewisecylindrical transverse housing at which there is also rotatably mountedat least one handgrip for actuating the aforesaid spindle, with thelengthwise housing extending through transverse openings of thetransverse housing.

An inserted door lock of this type of physical construction is alreadyknown to the art in which both housings as well as a number of othercomponents consist of punched and pressed sheet metal portions, andwherein the latch mechanism during production of the lengthwise housingis pushed into the latter once and for all, so that upon the appearanceof a defect such must be thrown away together with the aforesaidhousing. The wall thicknesses of the housings must be small, suchbringing with it the danger of jamming of the mechanism containedtherein, particularly if such housings are tightly embedded in theassociated bores of the doors manufactured of wood. Additionally, thelengthwise housing possesses a relatively large diameter, requiring alarge guard or shield at the door.

Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to providean improved door lock of the abovementioned physical constructionproviding the advantage, among others, that the time required for thefixing of the lock in a door is considerably reduced and that the use ofscrews is dispensed with, whereby in the door only a throughpassingtransverse bore and a blind lengthwise bore have to be prepared.

A further important object of the present invention has reference to animproved door lock which provides a considerably increased robustness,high degree of operational reliability, ease of dismounting, and, lastbut not least, is insensitive against the working or breathing of thewood of the door in which the lock is inserted.

Still another noteworthy object of this invention has reference to animproved door lock of the mentioned type which is featured by itsrelatively simple construction, high degree of security, its robustness,as well as it being relatively economical to manufacture and easy todismount as well as mount.

Generally speaking, the door lock of the present invention ismanifestedby the features that these transverse openings of thetransverse housing are threaded or tapped holes, the common axis ofwhich is disposed at a distance from the common axis of the spindle (orthe spindles) and the transverse housing, that the lengthwise housing isthreaded by means of an external threading provided thereat into thethreaded holes and possesses at least one lateral opening through whichthe spindle or the spindles come into engagement with the latchmechanism.

Other features, objects and advantages of the invention will becomeapparent by reference to the following detailed description and drawingsin which:

FIGURE 9 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the door lock of FIGURE8, taken in the axial plane of the lengthwise housing.

Describing now the drawings, it will be understood that in theembodiment depicted in FIGURES l to 7 reference character T designatesthe door or door wing and reference character R the door frame. An outercylindrical transverse housing 2 is seated in a throughpassing orcontinuous transverse bore 1 of the door T. This transverse housing 2possesses two transverse bores 3 provided with internal threading 3a,the common axis of which is situated at a distance above the axis of theaforesaid transverse housing 2. A lengthwise housing 4 is inserted in anappropriate blind bore 5 of the door T and has an external threading 6which is in engagement with the threaded bores 3 of the transversehousing 2. Adjacent this external threading 6 the aforesaid lengthwisehousing 4 is provided with a smooth cylindrical external outer surface 7which tits in the blind bore S practically without play. Additionally,this lengthwise housing 4 is provided with an external threading 8 atits outer end portion 8a which engages with the wood of the door T. Theroot or minor thread diameter of this threading 8 is the same size asthe diameter of the outer surface 7 and the pitch is the same as that ofthe threading 6 and the threaded bores 3. The closure plate consists ofa sleeve 9 provided with outer threading 10 engaging in the wood of thedoor frame R.

The transverse housing 2 is provided at both of its ends with short,smooth-walled bores 11 and 12l each of which terminates at a flatannular shoulder 11a and 12a, respectively, the confronting surfaces ofwhich are parallel to the axis of both threaded bores 3. Two screws 18extend in the axial plane disposed at right angles to the axis of thethreaded bores 3 within the lengthwise bore 2a of the transverse housing2, parallel to its axis and, as shown in FIGURE 3, past the lengthwisehousing 4. A retaining ring 15 and a bearing or support ring 16- aresuitably pushed into the bore 11. A support ring 17 is loosely pushedinto the bore 12. The screws 18 piercingly extend through bore holes 15aof the retaining ring 15 and engage in blind threaded holes 17a of thesupport ring 17 (FIG- URE 3). The retaining ring 1S bears at theshoulder 11a, the support ring 17 bears at the shoulders 12a.

A handgrip 19 is rotatably mounted in the support ring 16 and possessesan external annular groove 13a in which there is inserted a spring orlock washer 13, which in the same manner as an annular shoulder 19a ofthe handgrip 19 bears against an inner ilange of the support ring 16 inorder to axially support said handgrip 19 at this support ring 16. Suchsupport ring 16 is thus fixedly retained in axial direction in thetransverse housing 2, so that a member 20 (see also FIGURE 7) under theaction of a spring 21 engages in an internal annular groove 22 of thetransverse housing 2 as well as also in an external annular groove 23 ofthe handgrip 19. During assembly the snap member 20 is to be completelypressed into the outer annular groove 23, in order that such can bepushed past the transverse housing 2. After insertion has been completedit snaps under the action of the spring 21 into the inner annular groove22. If demounting is necessary, then a thin instrument is introducedthrough the bore 24 of the transverse housing 2 and by means of thisinstrument the snap member is pressed until it moves out of the groove22, whereupon the handgrip 19 can be removed.

Furthermore, the handgrip 19 is provided with a central blind bore 25,at the rear of which there is inserted a spring 26 and in which theshaft portion 27a of a spindle 27 is rotatably and displaceably mounted.However, the shaft portion 27a carries a transverse pin 29 engaging in alengthwise groove or slot 28 bounding at the blind hole or bore 25. As aresult, this spindle 27 is rigidly connected for rotation with thehandgrip 19. A radial bolt 30 is xedly inserted in a transverse hole 30aof the handgrip 19. As best shown in FIGURE 5, this radial bolt 30extends nto a recess 31 of the retaining disk 15, so that rotation ofthe handgrip 19 and this spindle 27 is limited to approximately 180.

A handgrip 32 is rotatably mounted in a support ring 17 and is xedlyretained axially since its innermost end portion carries a pressed-onring 33 bearing at the inner surface 17a of the support ring 17. Thehandgrip 32 is equipped with a radial bolt 34 (FIGURE 4) cooperatingwith a recess 35 in the support ring 17 in order to limit rotation ofthe handgrip 32 to approximately 90. The handgrip 32 additionallypossesses a central bore 36 which widens in stepwise manner towards theoutside. In the further external portion 36a of this bore 36 there isseated the housing 37 of a suitable commercially available cylindricallock 37a which is xedly held by screws 38 or the like. Thenon-illustrated cylinder of this cylindrical lock 37a is formed of asingle piece provided with a spindle 39, the shaft portion 39a of whichpiercingly extends through the narrower portion 36b of the central Ibore36 of the handgrip 32. When the key is removed, such cylinder can assumeone or the other of two angular positions, displaced through 90 relativeto one another with respect to the lock housing 37. Moreover, thespindles 27, 39 extend through confronting lateral openings 4a of thelengthwise housing 4 and into the latter.

A spring plate 40 is threaded into the inner end portion of thelengthwise housing 4 containing the latch mechanism. A pressure spring41 bears against this spring plate 40. This pressure spring 41 strivesto outwardly press the lock latch unit, further to be considered, inother Words into its locking position. This lock latch unit or mechanismis formed of three members 42, 43 and 44, with the latch members 42 and43 being connected with one another in bayonet-like fashion in order torender possible the use of the lock for doors which close from the leftas well as from the right. The outer lock latch member 43 can beconnected with the latch members 42 annd 44 in two positions displacedthrough 180 with respect to one another about the lenghtwise axis. Thelatch members 43 and 44 connected with one another by a transverse pin45 are displaceable with respect to the latch member 42, in order thatthe outer latch portion or member 43 can move into the closing plate 9during the snapping action Without the latch member 42 cooperating withthe spindles 27 and 39 being moved. During this snapping action i.e.when the latch portion 43 moves into the closing plate 9, a pressurespring 46 which acts between the members 42 and 43 is compressed.Further, the lengthwise housing 4 is provided at its inner surfacethroughout the entire length (with the exception of the internalthreading receiving the spring plate 40) with the internal cross-sectionvisible in FIGURE 3 having two oppositely situated flat sides 4b towhich fit the flat sides 42a and 43a, respectively, of the lock latchportions 42 and 43, best shown in FIGURE 6, so that the lock latch unit42, 43, 44- is displaceably, yet non-rotatably mounted in the lengthwisehousing 4.

The inner lock latch portion 42 possesses the usual 4 transverse recess4211 in which operate the spindle arms 2711 and 39b. Additionally, thisrecess 42h possesses a portion in which, on the occasion of the alreadymentioned rearward displacement of the lock latch members 43 and 44 withrespect to the lock latch member 42 against the action of the spring 46,there can move the cylinder segment-shaped head 44aof the lock latchmember 44. As `best seen by inspecting FIGURE l, the confronting frontalfaces 47 of the spindle arms 27h, 391: are approximately V-shaped incross-section, one being convex and the other concave, so that thespindle arms 27h, 39h are coupled with one another in form-lockingmanner whenever they are directed towards one another.

The transverse housing 2 is provided with an external threading 2b atboth of its ends, the outer diameter of which is not larger than that ofthe central portion of this transverse housing 2. Moreover, eachexternal threading 2b has threaded thereon an end ring 14 until suchbears against the one or the other at side of the door T, wherebyobviously the thickness of the latter can be varied within rather widelimits.

The heretofore described door lock of the invention operates as follows:

In the illustration of FIGURES 1 to 5 the movable members assume theircentral position. The lock latch unit 42, 43, 44 is located in itslocking position without being locked however. In order to open the doorT merely the one or the other handgrip 19, 32 need `be rotated in theclockwise direction of FIGURE 2. In so doing, the spindle arms 27b and39h which are coupled together by means of their confronting frontalfaces 47 are rotated in the same direction, these acting upon the locklatch member 42 to pull-back the lock latch unit 42, 43, 44.

It is also possible, starting from the previously mentioned illustratedcentral position, to also rotate the handgrip 19 through 90 in thecounterclockwise direction of FIGURE 2. The spindle arm 27b is thenhorizontally positioned against the lock latch member 44, the entirelock latch unit 42, 43, 44 thus locked in its locking position. Duringsuch rotation the spindle 39 cannot follow along because, first of all,the bolt 34 extending into the handgrip 32 cornes to Abear at the upperend of the recess 35 of the support ring 17 and, further, since when thekey is pulled out the handgrip 32 is rigidly connected with the spindle39 by means of the cylinder lock 37. Now, in order to again unlock thelock, either the handgrip 19 together with the spindle 27 can be rotatedback into the central position, or it is possible to proceed as follows:The key is inserted in the cylinder lock 37 and by means of such thespindle 39 is rotated in counterclockwise direction (FIGURES 2 and 4)through 90. At the end of this rotation the spindle arms 27b and 39h areagain form-lockingly intercoupled by means of their frontal faces 47 andby means of the key the spindle 39 together with the coupled spindle 27can be rotated back into the central position. Thereafter, either bymeans of the key or after pulling-out the same, it is -possible tofurther rotate the spindle 39 together with the coupled shank 27 bymeans of the handgrip 32 in the clockwise direction through (FIGURES 2,4 and 5), in order to pull back the lock latch unit 42, 43, 44.

By means of the key inserted in the lock it is also possible to rotatethe spindle 39 together with the coupled spindle 27 in counterclockwisedirection through 90, in order to lock the lock latch unit 42, 43, 44 inits locked position (FIGURE 2). If, now, the key is pulled out, then byrotating the handgrip i19 in clockwise direction the spindle 39 can onlyfbe rotated back to the central position. During this rotation thehandgrip is rigidly connected for rotation with the spindle 39 by meansof the cylinder lock and nally abuts against the bolt 34 rigidly seatedin the handgrip 32 at the lower end of the recess 35. The lock latchunit 42, 43, 44 is indeed now unlocked, yet cannot be pulled backbecause with a further rotation of the handgrip 19 in clockwisedirection the spindle 27 uncouples from the spindle 39 which isprevented from undertaking further rotation, the lock latch member 42coming to bear with the curved portion of its recess 42b at the spindlearm 39b. A pulling back of the lock latch unit 42, 43, 44 is, thus,the-n only possible by rotating the spindle 39 by means of the keyinserted in the cylinder lock 37.

The embodiment depicted in FIGURES 8 and 9 is considerably similar withregard to physical structure and mode of operation as the previouslydescribed embodiment, and, thus, like reference numerals have againgenerally been employed for the same or analogous elements. Also, forsuch reason, only the diiferences between these two embodiments will bedescribed. In the first instance, the embodiment of FIGURES 8 and 9brings about a further reduction in the diameter of the lengthwisehousing and an appropriate reduction in the size of the shield or guardto be provided at the door T, also however, a simplication of the latchmechanism.

As a rst consideration, and as particularly evident from FIGURES 8 and9, this embodiment differs insofar as the distance between the commonaxis ofthe lengthwise housing 104 and the threaded bores 103 of thetransverse housing 102, on the one hand, and the axis of the transversehousing 102, on the other hand, is larger than the external radius ofthe outer or lengthwise housing 104, which is reduced. The latterpossesses an opening 104a at one side facing towards the axis of thetransverse housing 102 through which the spindle arms 127b, 13% of thespindles 127 and 139, respectively, can be brought into engagement withthe latch unit or mechanism 142, 143 mounted in the lengthwise housing104.

In the latch mechanism the latch proper is composed of the main locklatch components or members 142, 143. A spring plate 140 is held at theinner end portion 104]) of the lengthwise housing 104 by means of aretainer ring 10ft-c. Against this spring plate 140 bears a spring 141which presses against the latch member 143. This latch member 143 whichin rest position bears against a setscrew or stop screw 151, is securedagainst rotation in that a pin 150 iixedly seated in the lengthwisehousing 104 engages in a lengthwise groove 143]; provided at the latchmember 143. The shaft portion 142a of the latch member 142 is flattenedat two sides situated opposite one another. The ilat sides 142b slidealong the legs of a U-shaped, flexed, spring wire 152 inserted intransverse bores or lateral slots 152a of the latch member 143. Uponremoval of this spring wire 152 the latch memlber 142 can be rotatedthrough 180 with respect to the latch member 143, this renderingpossible use of the lock for doors which shut from the outside as wellas from the inside. Reference numeral 143a designates a recess, at thewalls of which engage the spindle arms 127b, 139b in order to pull backthe latch unit, much in the manner already considered.
